Show # 266 - Coffee with Rich | Will Wood Captain Major U.S. Airline on Travel Safety Planning
On today's Coffee with Rich, we will be joined by Will Wood. Will has been flying since 12 years of age and has been a student of martial arts and self-defense for nearly as long. After completing college at Southern Illinois University with degrees in Aviation Flight and Aviation Management the career path took him from instructing students in small single aircraft to his current position as a captain for a major US carrier. A lifelong interest in firearms led to a desire to develop and enhance those skills. To that end he has taken courses with Mike Seeklander (American Warrior Society) and some guy named Leatham (who says aiming is useless), Kyle Lamb (Viking Tactics), Paul Howe (Combat Shooting and Tactics), John Krupa (Spartan Tactical Training Group), and Blackwater. Will is also an active competitor in USPSA and trains Jeet Kun Do, boxing, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. In his spare time, Will enjoys shooting, being on the lake with family and friends, and reading.

Show # 264 - Coffee with Rich | Round Two with Manhar Parshotam Founder and Director of Dragon Protection Services
On today's Coffee with Rich, we will be joined by Manhar Parshotam for round two of the initial discussion about the events in the near South African coup. Manhar Parshotam is the founder, a shareholder and director of Dragon Protection Services, which was established in 1996. Manhar grew up in Durban and attended Burnwood Secondary School in Sydenham. After he completed his schooling, he spent two years studying for a degree in engineering until he switched to a BCom degree. During his university years, he was a voluntary policeman and subsequently served as a police reservist for 15 years. Manhar’s explains that his career in the security field ‘happened by accident’. In the 1990s he worked parttime in security during the South African Amnesty process, which boosted his interest in the field. Whilst working in security during a huge petrol strike, a chance encounter changed his life’s direction. A medical doctor approached and requested him to perform a security assessment of one of the doctor’s buildings. Following this assessment, he was offered the security contract for the building. This was a huge learning curve,” explains Manhar. In his final year of BCom, Manhar had to make a choice to either complete his studies or go full time into the security business. “This decision was hard as there were more cons than pros and was based on the opportunity to train ex-soldiers in security so that they could be reintegrated back into society and obtain jobs.” After much deliberation Manhar left the university and the business grew from there. Some of the highlights of his career included seeing Fidel Castro and Muammar Gaddafi in person. A standout moment was watching Nelson Mandela arrive at the Durban ICC. “I got to see an icon – there was an aura about him which gave me goosebumps,” said Manhar. During 2001 Manhar was provided the opportunity by the South African Government to attend internationally recognized protection training courses in the United Kingdom and the United States. In his down time, Manhar enjoys competitive shooting as well as spending time with his family. “They help you relax, keep you calm and put a smile on my face.” He concluded, “Be happy, do what you love. If you love what you are doing, then every day is a holiday.” Dragon Protective Services: https://dragonprotection.co.za/ Coffee with Rich Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/rhodieusmc/videos American Warrior Show: https://americanwarriorshow.com/index.html SWAG: https://shop.americanwarriorsociety.com/ American Warrior Society please visit: https://americanwarriorsociety.com/ Rich's Coffee: Pete's Espresso Ristretto via a Nespresso by Delonghi Show # 263 - Coffee with Rich | Steve Washington Owner of Protection Tactics Firearms Training8/27/2021

Show # 260 - Coffee with Rich | Former Special Mission Unit Officer and Commander Pete Blaber
Pete Blaber commanded at every level of one of the most elite counter-terrorist organizations in the world during most of recent history’s most significant military and political events (Panama, Colombia, Somalia, Bosnia, Afghanistan, and Iraq).In 2006 he retired from the military and transitioned from leading elite combat teams around the globe, to leading elite corporate teams for one of the world's largest and most innovative Biotechnology Companies. “After 21 years of using the term ‘common sense’ to describe the way I lived and led in the military, this was the first time I actually paused to ponder what ‘common sense’ actually is and why people seem to recognize, respond to, and appreciate ‘common sense leadership’ whenever they experience it. I didn’t have to look far to find the answer. The answer is both all around and inside us. It’s not political, or religious, or philosophic. It’s biologic. Biology reveals that life always finds a way. It’s the "Common Sense Way.” In 2015 I left my job as a Biotechnology executive to write this book. “In 2018, while still working on this book, I decided it was time to pressure test the “Common Sense Way” in the living laboratory of real-world experience, so I started an international company that adds armor protection to any type of vehicle (e.g. cars, trucks, vans, buses, etc.). The idea behind Adding Armor is to create a “Mobile Safe-Room” that protects the vehicle’s passengers from would-be attackers (criminals, terrorists, active shooters, and anarchists) while also providing “peace of mind” that cannot be attained in an unarmored vehicle. In today’s world, adding armor to protect your family, friends, and colleagues is common sense. It’s the ‘Common Sense Way’”. Pete was born and raised in Oak Park, Illinois. He has an MBA and an MS in National Security and Strategic Affairs.
